Previewing the Sunday Shows
By Sarah Mimms // December 2, 2011 | 6:17 p.m.
The three candidates focusing on Iowa right now will dominate on Sunday, with Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, appearing on State of the Union, former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., stopping by This Week and Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., doing double-duty on State of the Union and Fox News Sunday.
Kahlil Byrd, the CEO of Americans Elect will also be on Fox News Sunday. Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer announced earlier this week that he is seriously considering running under the centrist party, which has already qualified for the ballot in 9 states and has petition-verifications pending in 3 others.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is hosting a Republican presidential forum on his Fox News show, Huckabee, on Saturday. The two hour live forum, which begins at 8 p.m. EST, will feature a discussion on domestic issues with six of the Republican candidates: Bachmann, Paul, Santorum, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Republican Attorneys General Pam Bondi, of Florida, Ken Cuccinelli, of Virginia, and Scott Pruitt, of Oklahoma, who are leading the charge against President Obama's health care bill will moderate alongside Huckabee. They are expected to quiz the candidates on EPA regulation, labor, education, immigration, social issues and, of course, health care. Aside from the candidates who will be hoping to bolster their social conservative credentials with Huckabee ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Cuccinelli, who just announced a bid for governor in 2013, could be the one to watch.
